If we're in the moment, as much as possible, we're less inclined to 'knee-jerk' react to situations. Being present keeps us reviewing if the way we're feeling, perceiving, reacting, is what we want to be feeling, perceiving, reacting.

"Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future." ~Deepak Chopra

We limit our thinking to the prescribed, rote patterns trained into us from in utero. It turns one day into a repeat of the last.

Shift the pattern by noticing a moment. Watch that leaf drift down from the tree. Notice the careful gait of the octogenarian. See the pattern the sun throws on the sidewalk. Notice the moment and shift the pattern.

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at, change."

Wayne Dyer

Humans make assumptions. Awareness of our assumptions and a willingness to change them is a mark of not only maturity but of an open mind. Reactions based on assumptions, usually create a need for damage control. Awareness that a reaction is based on an assumption can avoid that need. Questioning self and ensuring our motives are true to core beliefs, is overthinking to some but is, really, part of growth and being in this world.
